They have on on the bottom of the home screen, but the new one will pop up a notification on screen when your battery is almost dead, so it doesn't just surprise you during a match.

That isn't in the beta I have. I've had my controller die on my quite a few times (always end up wondering wtf is going on, until I notice it is off lol). Happened to me last night, actually.

I wouldn't say that the copying of materials is an issue, why would it be? It seemed that the issues on the European end were related to software compatibility with their 50-Hz TVs and content.

Of course the loss of a job isn't something to celebrate, but it at least shows some concept of rational business sense from Microsoft. It was determined that there was financial waste within the workforce, and it's had for Microsoft to be faulted for saying that the company does not wish to pay unneeded employees.

I see no reason to believe we'd get proper information on a firings breakdown, but it WOULD be nice to see the full assessment of that situation, because it would probably give us a small idea of what Microsoft is thinking. Obviously Nokia came with more employees than it needed to, and that's where the majority of the cuts are. They obviously don't believe in the TV content creation, between those firings and the closing of the studio (which reports are saying was clumsily-managed). If another large chunk is Euro marketing, it's a sign Microsoft isn't focused on that continent for console sales.

I don't really know what to say without more information about the changes, just that it sucks to be put in that position, but they seem to be getting taken care of well by Microsoft (relative to being cut loose with no severance/benefits, as a low-end job might result in).

I guess I should be a bit more explicit. By copying materials over in marketing, I meant that a common complaint is that the ads are often the exact same or nearly identical to the US ads. This was especially true for the TV ads and ads featuring kinect stuff that still run.

Ugh... Fifa is none to happy when I get screwed over on some penalty BS and feel the need to let the Xbox know how I really feel. The commentators love to remark about how angry the manager is after certain plays. Also, word of advice, don't turn on hand balls; the CPU never gets them and if you try a header in your box from the opponents corner kick, they are getting a penalty shot around 50% of the time I've learned (which means a free goal against me, because I can't ever block them). In one game, I had 2 players ejected for 2 yellow cards each and a 3rd booked once, all on hand balls.

Well, in that case wouldn't it be purposefully showing a price lower than what is charged? Not an error in the database.

No clue lol. We know in USA they don't usually honor their mistakes (Best Buy at least).

You know price matching at Best Buy, you'd say hey I found this item cheaper on your own website. So they'd load "BestBuy.com" on their PC at the store, and prove you wrong. Except it has a proxy server to show you a different BestBuy.com website where all the prices match their stores (LOL)?

They do say on their website that prices in the store may be different. It says this on target.com as well I know. That doesn't mean that they won't price match. My local best buy stores have computers you can use to look up whether they have a product in stock and it connects to a website resembling bestbuy.com but it leaves off all the items not sold by best buy directly. They have stuff on bestbuy.com that are sold by a 3rd party and use their site as the storefront.

I think any issues with price matching are on each store and its management, not best buy as a whole. Their FAQs say they will price match competitors including amazon.com

I think my Xbox might be having hdmi input issues but not sure. I have a Fire TV hooked up to it and a lot of times when I switch to it the screen will go to a white static background and then black out, eventually it will go to the Fire TV but sometimes the sound doesnt work on just the Fire TV, the Xbox One will still have sound like normal. To get it working I have to go to the dashboard and quit the Fire TV and restart.

I sometimes have issues between my cable box and the xb1 and have to completely shut the system down. Just the other day my kinect was disconnecting and connecting constantly and putting the "set up your kinect sensor" pop up on the screen every 10 seconds. Again I had to shut down completely and start fresh. That is very annoying.

I've had this happen was well. I usually have to fully shut down the Xbox and reboot it to fix it.
